Our Vision for Bursaries

Why seven years? Commitments of support for seven years will enable the School to offer more bursaries to boys for the duration of their education at Abingdon. Any commitment you make will make a difference to those who would like to come to Abingdon but don’t have the financial means to do so. When will my funds be allocated to a pupil? All pledges to our bursary fund will be directed to bursaries offered for September 2022 onwards. Are bursaries allocated to local Abingdon boys? There are currently 16 bursary recipients at Abingdon who live in the OX13 and OX14 postcodes. Due to our extensive school bus service pupils are able to attend Abingdon from up to an hour’s drive from the School. I want to donate £20 a month – how will this make an impact? Eight people contributing £20 a month for seven years equates to a 10% bursary place. All donations count. The more people who get involved, the more bursaries we can offer. Is Abingdon raising funds for an endowment to guarantee long-term bursary support? Whilst an endowment in the future will enable us to fund bursaries in the long-term, we want to change lives now. Individual major gifts and legacies will help us to build an endowment. Your questions answered Seven years to change a life
